What do you enjoy most about Insight and how are you hoping Insight will prepare you for your future?The Insight program has definitely stretched me as both a student and an individual. There have been aspects of the program I have enjoyed, and aspects that have challenged me to persevere through activities that may not be my favorite thing but are surely beneficial. This is an important skill to develop, especially for the setting of a university, internship, and workplace. But the thing I enjoy most about Insight is the “real world experience” I am gaining by working with real businesses on their projects. It has given me an insight (haha!) into what it’s like to be in the business world.

Reason for becoming a mentor:I love investing time in the "Next Generation" and sharing "What it takes to Win in the REAL World". I also view the "Insight" program as a bridge of opportunity for the students to connect with local "Successful Business People in a way that they would never get anywhere else!

Experiences you’re providing to student:We have first focused on "WHAT" Brennan's goals are, to creating a FOUNDATION of "WHY". We have then shared ideas that are specific to his goals and are working on "Timelines" to accomplish them. We have also shared Book ideas that could be very helpful in the journey. One of the BIGGEST experiences we have shared has been the idea of QUESTIONS. "The Questions we ask of Ourselves AND of Others WILL determine the Quality of Life I enjoy!" We spent some time on "HOW TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS!"

Overall impression of Insight / How mentor views Insight helping student’s future: I see the "INSIGHT" program as one of the MOST Valuable experiences that a Pewaukee High School student could ever receive! It is a REAL LIFE opportunity to get out of the "traditional classroom", and "connect" with local successful business men and women in a way that does not happen in many peoples lifetimes! The "INSIGHT" program is a serious "jumpstart" to every students life that participates!​Anything else you would like to highlight about yourself, your company or your mentoring experience: After 31 years in business and the ever-changing business climate it is SO clear that people want to succeed. They want people to work with them that they TRUST! I believe that today's families face major financial challenges. They're being forced to downsize their goals and dreams — to settle for less. Primerica shows them how they can change their life. We are the one company focused on the middle market and helping Main Street families get the financial help they need.We help Main Street families get the protection they need at a price they can afford, invest for the future and get out of debt. We teach families fundamental financial principles that aren't taught in school and we give them an opportunity to build a business with us and transform their life. "Financial Education" is at the foundation of everything I do! Go to: www.primerica.com/jmartinson for more information.

Someone who inspires me: is my teacher, Mr. Callies, in the way that he is open to and appreciative of others ideas and opinions to improve upon how he approaches things in his own life. I hope to exercise this same characteristic in my relationships so I can maximize my potential as well.One thing you might not know about me: is that I am hoping to pursue music production as a hobby at some point in my life.

What do you enjoy most about Insight and how are you hoping Insight will prepare you for your future?In my opinion, the most enjoyable aspect of Insight is the way in which the curriculum has been adjusted to allow us, as students, to conduct and present real and meaningful research in a manner that best develops our business skills. Therefore, I am hoping that we continue to work on various projects and with various mentors or businesses to maximize our exposure to the professional world and be provided with the opportunity to start building our network of relationships as a possible foot in the door for our future.

What do you enjoy most about Insight and how are you hoping Insight will prepare you for your future? I’m very excited about the opportunity to actually work in the business world this year. As I am hoping to get into the business school at Ohio State, this is a very cool opportunity that can truly help. I will be able to learn from my mentor about what it’s like to work along with increasing my communication skills. Also, partnering with businesses and creating different types of presentations and writing papers will set me up nicely for later in life. Insight is a very special opportunity that can apply to the rest of my life from here on out.
